Marine, Aviation, and Transportation

Maritime and aviation businesses are high-profile industries with ever-present potential for catastrophic losses. Transportation issues affect nearly every enterprise around the world, but can present particular financial and operational challenges to firms in these industries. Rising fuel costs, employee shortage and retention issues, credit risks, marketplace competition, these and other exposures can have a severe impact on a company's bottom line and impede its overall success.

Subrogation & Recovery An insurance carrier may reserve the "right of subrogation" in the event of a loss. This means that the company may choose to take action to recover the amount of a claim paid to a covered insured if the loss was caused by a third party. After expenses, the amount recovered must be divided proportionately with the insured to cover any deductible for which the insured was responsible. We are routinely involved in identifying and pursuing avenues of subrogation and recovery and offer a variety of options. Learn more about services in your area.
